Hey there, internet stranger. Did you know that a folly is an ornamental building with no practical purpose, especially a tower or mock ruin? For us, it’s a perfect symbol for an indie press on the fringe of the publishing landscape. Sure, we really built it out of cardboard boxes and computer code, but in our imagination Folly X.O. HQ is a cryptic keep standing vigil over a wild and untrammeled landscape. As far as the rest of it goes, it might seem like a lack of good sense to love books as much as we do, but we know we’re not alone. That’s where the X.O. comes in. We hope you become part of the community of readers and writers that is taking shape under our fluttering banner. Grab a book, plant a flag, spread some love.

Strategically, we publish around one new book a year, but put a ton of energy into making each one count. Hopefully you’ll find something in our catalog that jolts you awake and leaves a smile on your face. If you’re here to submit a manuscript, maybe the stars will align and we’ll make something great together…

Either way, thanks for giving us a shot!

- X.O.
